Introduction
This is a veggie/vegan burrito. The original recipe called for using a whole pound of vegan cheese, but i cut that in half. if you use more than 1/4 cup of cheese on each burrito, then you will need to adjust for the calories. With using the whole pound of cheese, each burrito would be about 601 calories. This is a veggie/vegan burrito.
